SEVEN Deadly Sins & The Demons Associated with Them By Ms. Brantley Graham (Eng I, English II, English IV

The Seven Deadly Sins What child has not been warned of these sins by a parent or bible class? Each of the seven deadly sins is represented by one of the demons of hell. Each sin is depicted here with its respective demon and a description of its associated sin. So... onward to the sins and the demons that represent them.

If a person committed one of these seven deadly sins, he/she would face a different torment and torture in hell according to the sin. This idea stems from a set of 16 th Century engravings created by George Pencz that uses animals in the depictions of the sins and women as the sinners.

(Portraying women in such a fashion was okay at that time). The origin of this treatment is the belief that Eve tempted Adam with the apple, thus, man’s fall from original grace is woman’s fault—a very popular thought during this period. All sins have a punishment in hell, an animal, a color, and a guardian demon.
